New model C Class Sport Plus saloon

[Geordie Amanda]

hi is it just on coupe or is the sport plus is in saloon aswell

It is the Saloon version

Did I read somewhere that you're too busy at work to collect it for now, or is it being held by the dealer for some reason? You'll love it anyway.

I am too busy with work to pick it up. As well as that, I can't get my insurance company to insure it as a Sport Plus as it isn't on their database yet. They have called it Sport 125! might need the Merc 7 Day insurance to register the car now.

It's a shame that they couldn't have turned it round quickly as i am in Manchester tomorrow and could have picked it up

They come with a microfibre/Alcantara and faux leather seat. Similar to the normal Sport seat, but with a different back stitching pattern, the stitching being in RED!!!!! ARGHGHHHH as well as the aforementioned Alcantara type inserts. All I know of the cars general appearance is the Dealer emailed me today to tell me it looked great (no surprise there then)

I thought my insurance company was dragging its heels back in March when they only had the Sport 125 on their system, but sounds like they're still not up to date. Don't forget to phone around a few companies and try the meerkat lot for some quotes. It's amazing how much they vary even if you had a good deal on your existing car.

I got the Merc 7 day insurance at first - really easy on the phone and no pestering afterwards when I didn't continue with them.

A valve cap in plastic perhaps ?

Well I have seen it and sat in it and now have to leave it for a fortnight
I didn't have my camera with me, but I took a few emergency shots with my phone. The instrument cluster has a green tinge in the photo, but that is the camera flash going off, it looks silver in reality

I should add the seats were still covered so I couldn't take a snap of them either

Great looking car.
I really like the wheels; they suit the car extremely well.

I like the red stitching

 

[Geordie Amanda]

The wheels don't look as bad as I feared, although they do add a touch of Drug dealer to the car Wish I had gone for Tenerite though, as the car is very dark all over, only the new alcantara inserts lifting the interior.

I'd go all the way. Get the front windows tinted as much as you legally can and do the same for the back, but you can get them properly blacked out, this will also help keep the car cool inside and your chocolate from melting. I'd have the wheels fully painted black too.

Thanks, but I really wish I had gone for tenerite Grey Still, waiting 2 weeks to pick it up should be enough time to get my head in order

The red stitching on the door inserts looks nice. Car overall looks fantastic - I bet you're itching to pick it up!

The car looks fantastic bet you can't wait to collect from MB enjoy the whole experience Geordie Amanda well done

 

[chrisbin]

Nice!

I think the wheels probably work best with black, and certainly better than with grey....





Have I convinced you??

Fantastic update, both ex- and interiors. Thanks so much.

Really keen to see the combination of polar white paint and these "drug dealer" wheels.
